About STRICH Barcode Scanning SDK
STRICH is a JavaScript SDK for real-time 1D and 2D barcode scanning in web apps, using the camera of smartphones and tablets. All decoding runs on-device in the browser: no backend or native app required. Barcode data never leaves the device.
Supports Code 128, EAN, UPC, Code 39, ITF, DataBar, QR Code, Data Matrix, Aztec, PDF417 (incl. US driver’s licenses) and more. Reads damaged, faded, inverted and poorly lit codes where open-source libraries like ZXing-JS and QuaggaJS struggle.
Add scanning with one line of code using the PopupScanner, or embed the BarcodeReader for full control. Zero dependencies, TypeScript definitions, sample code for Vanilla JS, React, Angular, Vue and Svelte. Works in all major browsers on Android and iOS.
Transparent pricing from €99/month with unlimited devices, or flat annual licenses with unlimited scans. Offline operation available. Free 14-day trial. Made in Switzerland by a GS1 Solution Partner.

Other open-source libraries were unable to recognise certain codes correctly under the same conditions, or did not support that type of code at all. Furthermore, the author very quickly added another type of code that was not yet supported when we first contacted him. -

"Reliable Scanning That Saves Manual Entry, Backed by Excellent Support" 5 out of 5 stars Edited 2026-11-12
Pros: I like that STRICH Barcode Scanning SDK works reliably and lets me scan codes instead of entering numbers manually. Our software engineers found it a simple option. When we had a customer with an unsupported code, STRICH support responded quickly and collaboratively, and the code was supported in the next release. Great support.
Cons: N/A
Overall: I use STRICH Barcode Scanning SDK in our web-based application to scan QR codes on employee badges and barcodes on patient wristbands and sealings, so I can quickly retrieve the associated number without typing it manually. It works reliably, and I occasionally check the dashboard. After we encountered a code it did not support, the next release supported that code.

"Best scanning library" 5 out of 5 stars Posted 2026-11-11
Pros: - supports all common barcode types (2D & 3D)
- very reliable recognition
- many customization options
- great support when problems arise
- reasonably priced compared to other librariesCons: Due to our infrastructure, we were initially unable to import the source code as an ES6 module—but this feature has since been officially released.
Overall: For our use within Fiori apps in production, the scanning library is exactly what we were looking for. The recognition works amazingly well. Integration went smoothly.

"Excellent barcode scanning SDK easy to integrate" 5 out of 5 stars Posted 2026-11-10
Pros: We evaluated several barcode scanning libraries for our ticket scanner web app, but STRICH stood out right from the start. The excellent documentation and straightforward API made it incredibly easy to integrate into our existing application. Everything worked smoothly without unnecessary complexity, saving us valuable development time.
Cons: We haven't encountered any significant drawbacks in our use case. STRICH has met our requirements, and the integration process was straightforward.
Overall: Our experience with STRICH has been excellent. We integrated the SDK into an existing ticket scanner web app for an event location in Zurich. After trying several alternatives, STRICH was clearly the best fit for our needs. The combination of reliable scanning, great documentation, and easy integration made the development process smooth and efficient. We would definitely recommend STRICH to other developers looking for a barcode scanning solution for web applications.
